Hi Nicolas,
I tried out the patch, and my comments are in the MWE below.

Good point. I overlooked that.
I have this MWE that explains the "would like to have" vs "what this patch
gives us":
=====
#+TITLE: ox-html root dir
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
#+STARTUP: inlineimages
#+HTML_LINK_ROOT: /tmp/site/static/
An =image.png= exists as =/tmp/site/static/images/image.png=.
* This is how the image links should have worked with the link root already
specified
[[/images/image.png]]
- The =HTML_LINK_ROOT= should to appended to the front of the above link if
that
concatenated path is a valid one.
- Would also like =C-x C-o=, inline image display, etc. to work.
- So a thought.. should the link root specification be made exporter
agnostic?
* This works after adding support for =HTML_LINK_ROOT= ..
.. but
- The link path becomes too long.
- Need to hard-code the full path to the site/blog root directory before
each of
such links.
[[file:/tmp/site/static/images/image.png]]

The organization for Hugo posts is something similar. So hopefully we can
have a solution that works for such blogging platforms in general.
In comparsion, the hugo paths would be:
/path/to/my/hugo/content/posts/my-blog-post.org
/path/to/my/hugo/static/images/unicorn.jpg
So, right now, either the Org link to the image must be written to be

Yeah, this is a problem and can probably be fixed if a support for
something like "#+LINK_ROOT" can be made in Org and not specific to an
exporter backend.
Or, some mechanism needs to turn the valid Org link:

As I mention in my MWE, I am actually looking for a solution so that we do
not need to specify the "mysiteroot" for each link.. may be just one as a
"#+LINK_ROOT".
